La-5

The Soviet La-5FN was the definitive version of the La-5 series. This wooden aircraft first saw combat in the Battle of Kursk and was considered as an equal to the German BF-109G6. With the arrival of the La-5’s and later the La-7, the era of domination on the eastern front by the Luftwaffe fighters was over.
